[VIDEO] "At some point you know that it's time to walk away": Michael Holding

[MenInG]

Michael Holding chats to Saj about why he retired from cricket commentary, his thoughts on the ECIC report, why upbringing and education affects people's behaviour, the importance of re-educating society, the problems within English cricket, how he hopes the ECIC report will mean that people will not be afraid to speak up in future, the importance of side-lining people with racist views, how he hopes that the apologies and promises are sincere and not just box-ticking exercises and more.

I liked him as a commentator before the T20 leagues started. After that he became a bitter individual. I hate T20 leagues, but that doesn't mean I'll pick on players who chose to play them.

 

[Mamoon]

You are well past that point, Mike.

Brilliant commentator.

Wonderful analyst and his knowledge of the game was brilliant.

Great voice too.

A lot better than most of the current commentators.

Nice interview. Didn't always agree with Mikey's opinions on T20 but he had a heavenly voice for broadcasting and wasn't afraid to ruffle a few feathers unlike many of the dull, corporate approved monotones we hear today on the mic.

Brilliant commentator.

Great voice too.

A lot better than most of the current commentators.

As good a commentator as he was a fast bowler. He knew his game, had an impeccable knowledge of cricket and was not afraid to say his mind. On top of it all, he was a friend of Pakistan cricket.

Mickey Holding has always been an inspiration for fast-bowlers around the world. His words after retirement also mean a lot.
